The BPFLSX-040 is a four-piece brass insert spherical bearing with a 0.2500 inch bore and 0.7500 inch outer diameter, designed for metal-to-metal lubricated applications. It has a housing width of 0.375 inch, a ball diameter of 0.281 inch, and a static radial load rating of 5245 pounds. The bearing weighs 0.04 pounds and features a lubrication groove and hole for maintenance. The outer race is made of heat-treated 52100 alloy steel with corrosion-resistant coating, while the insert is brass.
A bearing is a device that reduces friction between moving components by preventing metal-to-metal contact while assisting components (shafts, axles, and wheels) to freely rotate around a fixed axis, cutting down on heat generation and the amount of energy that is consumed. By replacing sliding motion with low-friction rolling motion, the life of the rotating components is increased. A bearing also keeps the shaft in the proper position, providing support and alignment and transferring the axial or radial loads to the housing.
The types of bearings that we offer include rolling element bearings, which consist of both ball bearings and roller bearings.
Balls are utilized as the rolling element in ball bearings; a retainer holds the balls in place and allows them to freely rotate. The balls are kept inside channels cut in both the inner and outer races. Because there is no surface contact between the balls and races, precision ball bearings have a lower load capacity for their size than other bearings.
